It was a little earlier.. 1994, they purchased him after he won the Boojum over Birdonthewire, Harlan, Lite The Fuse etc..

He had won five in a row going into the Breeders Cup.. ended up being the fourth betting choice in the sprint..

I had to look it up. I didn't even remember Meritocrat was a New Farm horse.

Yep. Was 7 lengths clear of 3rd place in the soggy Breeders Cup Mile.

I'm going to have to start posting forms of greyhounds to get something by you and Rollo.

I was there when that Team Valor horse ran him down at huge odds in the Kelso.. Belmont got an enormous amount of rain that fall..

That's probably Wild Syn. Won the Blue Grass at long odds.

I watched a replay of the '94 Goodwood the other day when we were talking about Bertrando, and Fastness was in there. Not sure what Jenine Sahadi was thinking with that move. I also wonder if that's what kept him out of the BC Mile that year.

I could not F-----G believe that when she pulled that move.

A smoother move I've never seen.
